1'!) all whom it may commrn: j

Be it known that l, TnEonon Go'rzn, a 3 subject of the German. Emperor, and. a resij dent of i\'o. 1 Marktstrasse. Hamburg, Ger many, have invented certain new'and useful 1 improvements in 11 Fountain Paint-Brush, of which the following is a specification.

The invention in hand deals in novelties in in particular such as are provided witha brush which is fed from the tube with paint.

The accompanying drawing represents a form of construction o'l' ti 1-. Invention, and it shows in Figure] a perspective view, and ig. 2 alongitudinalsectio The invention consists in a case correl spending in form to the tube, being pressed. out of a strip of tin or other material of the right length and breadth, which is doubled in the middle crosswise. I The two halves of the case when they are bent round the tube on each side are kept together by a ring being placed around them.

It is practical to leave two slits in the side of the case situated op )osite to each other at the point where the edges of the two halves come together, in order that the key which is attachedto the end of the tube for the pur pose of turning, it round may pass through the slits beyond the protecting-case, and thus enable to roll up and empty the tube while in the case.

The protectingease 1) corresponds to the form of the tube e, is pressed out of a strip of j tin of the right breadth so that it is doubled" over at the lower end, and is kept together at the top by a ring a. A brush is attached to l the top of the tube, being, for instance, j placed in a hollow cylinder i, which. is aflixed r to the tube 6. This cylinder i is provided on j the outer side with a projecting ridge m, into 5 which the edge m" of the case b which is bent I inward fits on the case being pressed tol gether, which is effected by pushing up the ring 0. In this way the contrivance is more j i l l l l l l firmly fastened. The cylinder '21 is provided with an internally-screw-threadednipple is,

which is adapted to be secured to the tube 6 and is perforated for the passage of the con tents of said tube. The bristles of the brush are disposed between nipple l; and the cylinder 1, and an elastic tubefis drawn upon the tube k. and extends among the bristles. The case 1) serves a handle and prevents the tube which is filled with paint or son'lething similar from being bent. The contents a of the tube 6 are expelled by means of a key a, which can be turnwl round in the slits formed by the two halves of the case when. the tube rolls up and so presses the necessary paint, 850., into the brush.

' 1. In a fountain-paint brush the combination a tube 0 having thread at the top, a hollow cylinder i provided with an internallyscrew-tln'eaded nipple Z7 screwed on said tube and having a brush, an elastic tube f drawn upon the tube 7tand extending among the bristles, a case b forming a bow withtwo slits on the opposite sides and surrounding said tube e and said hollow cylinder 91, a key-a projecting out of the slits of said. case-and connected with the end of said. tube, substantially as shown.

2. In a fountain-brushthe combination; a

tube e having thread at the top, a hollow' cylinder i provided with an internally-screwthreaded nipple is screwed. on said tube and having a brush, an elastic tube f drawn upon the tube 7c and extending among the bristles, a case b forming a bow with two slits on the opposite sides and surrounding said tube e and said hollow cylinder 71, a key a projecting out oil the slits of said case and connected with the end of said tin tube, a projecting ridge m on the outer side of the cylinder t and an edge m on the case 7), means for instance a ring a to keep together the case b, and fitting the edge m into the ridge m sub stantially as described and shown.
